		xlayn on Feb 5, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: LinkedIn shares drop 40%, erasing $10B of company'... First Twitter, and now Linked In. I've called unicorns and specially those without business model a bubble. What we are looking is a shift... `-Happened from real state to oil -Oil to IT unicorns` Now the question is where is the money being transferred to? I'm still wondering how has Facebook done to avoid all this happening to them.

I don't interpret this shift as money being transferred anywhere, so much as a systematic de-leveraging of investments.
